Aim: To investigate the involvement of pericyte-Müller glia interaction in retinal damage repair and assess the influence of suppressing the platelet-derived growth factor receptor β (PDGFRβ) signaling pathway in retinal pericytes on photoreceptor loss and Müller glial response.
Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to intense light to induce retinal injury. Neutralizing antibody against PDGFRβ were deployed to block the signaling pathway in retinal pericytes through intravitreal injection.

Objective: To study the influence of haliotidis extractive on the oxidative damage in the human lens epithelial cells cultured in vitro.
Methods: Experimental study. Cultured human lens epithelial cells in vitro were intervened with hydrogen peroxide caused oxidative damage model, at the same time added different concentrations of concha haliotidis extractive.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the presence of two human coronaviruses, HCoV-NL63 and HCoV-HKU1, in young patients with acute respiratory infections at a Beijing hospital between May 2008 and March 2010, finding positive cases in 8.4% and 14.9% of samples, respectively.
- - Coinfections with other respiratory viruses, particularly respiratory syncytial virus and parainfluenza 3 virus, were commonly observed in patients infected with either HCoV type.
- - The most common symptoms among HCoV-HKU1-infected patients were cough, fever, and expectoration, while those infected with HCoV-NL63 primarily presented with cough,
